The Housing Quality Standards inspection determines if your unit and your history as a landlord meet Section 8 standards. If your unit doesn’t pass the PHA will allow the landlord to make the necessary repairs.

Step 4: Section 8 Contract and Lease Signed

Because the landlord receives split payment, from the PHA and the tenant, you will be required to have 2 contracts, one with the PHA and one with the tenant. The PHA enters into a housing assistance payment contract and the renter signs a lease.
